The error raises when Android sdk, API level, sdk tools , gradle plugin versions aren't compatible. I'm building a project for metaquest-2 with android API level-29. Android studio Version-4.0 For this :

1. Make sure configuration is as shown in below gradle.build(Project:My_Application):

    // Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.
    
        plugins {
            id 'com.android.application' version '6.5.1' apply false
            id 'com.android.library' version '6.5.1' apply false
            id 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.android' version '1.7.10' apply false }

gradle.build(Module:My_Application.app):

    plugins {
        id 'com.android.application'
        id 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.android'
    }
    
    android {
        namespace 'com.example.myapplication'
        compileSdk 29
    
        defaultConfig {
            applicationId "com.example.myapplication"
            minSdk 23
            //noinspection ExpiredTargetSdkVersion
            targetSdk 29
